    Abstract: Albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade has been recently used in evaluation of liver function and prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, in Vietnam, the utility of ALBI grade in clinical setting has not been adequately investigated. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 110 patients with HCC treated with sorafenib from January 2010 to November 2018 at 2 tertiary hospitals in Vietnam. Prognostic value of ALBI grade was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional regression model. Results: Results showed that the majority of ALBI grade 1 were Child-Pugh level A (97.5%); ALBI grade 2 was seen in all Child-Pugh score groups of 5, 6, 7, ≥8, whereas ALBI grade 3 was mostly reported in Child-Pugh score ≥8 group (83.3%). Compared with ALBI grade 3, ALBI grade 1 reduced 66.4% risk of death (hazards ratio [HR] = 0.336, 95% confidence interval [CI] : 0.115-0.981; P = .046). Compared with ALBI grade 3, ALBI grade 2 reduced 67.3% risk of death (HR = 0.327, 95% CI: 0.122-0.875; P = .026). Albumin-bilirubin grade was an independent predictor of survival outcome. Conclusion: Baseline ALBI grade is a simple and objective approach in assessing liver functions of patients with HCC. Baseline ALBI grade is an independent predictor of survival in patients treated with sorafenib.

    Abstract: Epidemiological characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Southern Vietnam has been well reported as in Globocan 2018 while data from the North has still not been fully presented. Therefore, we conducted this retrospective descriptive study on 198 advanced HCC patients treated at 3 major hospitals in Northern Vietnam to describe demographic features, HCC risk factors, and correlation among them in patients with advanced HCC. This information will lead to prevention efforts and provide information for allocating funds for treatment. The median age at diagnosis was 57 years (range: 19-86) and the male/female ratio was 8.9/1. The proportions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were 81.3% and 5.6%, respectively. Hepatitis C virus infection rate was significantly higher in patients 〈 50 years old (12.5% vs 3.3%, P = .016). There was no significant difference in age or viral hepatitis infection status by gender. Only 7.6% of patients diagnosed with advanced HCC were asymptomatic. In conclusion, with the high rate of HBV infection among patients with advanced HCC, it is necessary for increasing prevention efforts in HBV screening. Furthermore, HCV infection should be noticed in patients with advanced HCC younger than 50 years old.

    Abstract: Hypertension is a significant public health issue that is increasing in prevalence and can have dangerous complications. This atherosclerotic disease occurs due to lifestyle choices, such as being sedentary, eating fast foods, and a lack of physical exercise. Atherosclerosis has gradually become the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, the trend of using natural products to supplement and replace synthetic drugs is being considered in many places. This study evaluated the antihypertensive and anti-atherosclerosis effects of Nano NO plus capsules on hypertensive and atherosclerotic rat models. The results showed that Nano NO plus given to rats at doses of 420 mg/kg and 840 mg/kg lowered systolic, diastolic, and average blood pressure (BP) without affecting heart rate. Nano NO plus capsules also increased nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) in the rats’ plasma. All of these effects were comparable to those of Losartan at 25 mg/kg. Furthermore, doses of 420 mg/kg and 840 mg/kg reduced blood lipid test indexes, including triglyceride (TG) levels, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and atherogenic index (AI). At the same time, Nano NO plus capsules increased the levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in the blood and protected against atherosclerotic lesions of the abdominal aorta in the studied rats. These results indicate that Nano NO plus is a potential product to treat hypertension and atherosclerotic.

    Abstract: To determine the leucocyte profile and cytokine concentrations in the peripheral blood of children with an acute asthma exacerbation (AAE). Methods This descriptive, cross-sectional study enrolled paediatric patients admitted to hospital for AAE. The severity of AAE was assessed using the paediatric asthma score (PAS). Peripheral blood samples were collected for automatic quantification of white blood cell counts, CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells populations by flow cytometry and cytokine concentrations by flow cytometry-assisted immunoassay. Results A total of 127 children with AAE and 30 healthy control subjects were included in the study. The proportion of paediatric patients with decreased CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was significantly higher in those with severe AAE compared with those with mild-to-moderate AAE. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-8, IL-12, and IL-4 in paediatric patients with rhinovirus infection were significantly higher than in those without rhinovirus infection. IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α and GM-CSF concentrations during AAE were significantly lower than control. IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations during AAE were significantly higher than control. Conclusions The decrease of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T cells and IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, and GM-CSF combined with the increase of IL-5 and IL-13, were associated with AAE in children with asthma.

    Abstract: Background. Vietnam was one of 16 countries that implemented the second round of the GATS (Global Adult Tobacco Survey) in 2015. Aims. To assess knowledge and determinants of health consequences of different types of cigarette smoking among Vietnamese adults. Methods. A cross-sectional study among adults aged 15 years combined with using 15% of the master sample from the national sampling frame of the population and housing census was conducted. Multilevel analysis using Poisson regression was undertaken. Results. Knowledge on the health consequences of cigarette smoking has not significantly improved in the GATS-2015. Adults believe that active smoking had more of an impact on health than secondhand smoking and 24.5% and 43% of them answered that smoking light and e-cigarettes, respectively, causes less harm than regular cigarettes, and 17.3% and 18.1% of adults are not aware of the difference between them, respectively. Conclusion. Household and community’s role had little impact in the adult knowledge of smoking health consequences. It is necessary to disseminate information on the “other tobacco product” and to improve public knowledge on specific health consequences, to enhance household and community’s role in conveying health education messages to individuals.

    Abstract: Plain Language Summary Prediction of online purchase intention on e-commerce platforms This study focuses on predicting the online purchase intention of consumers purchasing from e-commerce platforms using an integrated model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and technology acceptance model (TAM). The study proposed a model with 13 hypotheses from the literature review. The hypotheses were tested using data collected from 326 e-commerce consumers in Vietnam. The PLS-SEM approach was used for analysis. The results showed that TAM factors, perceived value and perceived enjoyment had significant effects on attitude towards online purchase, while attitude, perceived enjoyment and e-commerce exchange image played strong roles influencing online purchase intention. The results also showed that the perceived enjoyment helped to raise the predictive power of attitude dramatically, while e-commerce exchange image contributed a high portion to explain online purchase intention variation. Other specific contextual factors may be incorporated into the integrated model to better explain online purchase intention. The results indicated that the e-commerce trading platforms need to focus on improving their image and on increasing customers’ experience in order to improve their business performance. This is among the first studies that investigates the integration of the TPB and TAM for e-commerce behavioral intention research incorporating e-commerce exchange image as an important factor that affects online purchase intention. The new integrated model has verified its value to considerably enhance the capability to predict the variations of attitude towards online purchase and online purchase intention.

    Abstract: Achieving access to clean water and basic sanitation remains as major challenges in Vietnam, especially for vulnerable groups such as minority people, despite all the progress made by the Millennium Development Goal number 7.C. Objectives: The study aimed to describe the access to improved water sources and sanitation of the ethnic minority people in Vietnam based on a national survey and to identify associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 with a sample size of 1385 ethnic minority households in 12 provinces in Vietnam. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was performed to examine the probability of having access to improved water sources and sanitation and sociodemographic status at a significance level of P  〈  .05. Results: The access to improved water sources and sanitation was unequal among the ethnic minority people in Vietnam, with the lowest access rate in the northern midland and mountainous and Central Highland areas and the highest access rate in the Mekong Delta region. Some sociodemographic variables that were likely to increase the ethnic minority people’s access to improved water sources and/or sanitation included older age, female household heads, household heads with high educational levels, religious households, and households in not poor status. Conclusion and recommendations: The study suggested more emphasis on religion for improving the ethnic minority’s access to improved water sources and sanitation. Besides, persons of poor and near-poor status and with low educational levels should be of focus in future water and sanitation intervention programs.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of self-reported non-communicable diseases among ethnic minority populations in Vietnam and related factors. A total of 5033 individuals aged 15 years and older who belonged to ethnic minority populations from 12 provinces in Vietnam completed a household survey. The overall prevalence of self-reported non-communicable diseases was 12.4% (95% CI: 11.5%–13.4%). Cardiovascular diseases were the most prevalent, followed by diabetes. Ethnicity was shown to have an independently significant correlation to having any non-communicable diseases. Older people, near-poor and non-poor people had significantly higher odds of having non-communicable diseases as compared to younger and poor people.

    In: Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, SAGE Publications, Vol. 32, No. 8 ( 2020-11), p. 387-397
    Abstract: This study investigates the prevalence of tobacco and alcohol uses and associated factors among 12 ethnic minorities in Vietnam in 2019. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 5172 people aged ≥15 years. The prevalence of smoking and drinking was 19.7% and 29.9%, respectively, and significantly higher among men than women. These numbers were heterogeneous across ethnic minorities. Smoking prevalence was high among Ba Na (25.9%), Cham An Giang (22.3%), Khmer (23.5%), La Hu (26.3%), Ta Oi (30.7%), and Bru Van Kieu (29.6%) ethnicities whereas that of Gie Trieng and Mnong ethnicities was low (3.7% and 9.5%, respectively). Drinking prevalence ranged from 1.4% in Cham An Giang ethnicity to 68.6% in Ba Na ethnicity. A wide ethnic disparity on tobacco and alcohol use could be explained by the ethnic variation of lifestyles, social norms, and cultural features. Our findings suggest the need to develop ethnic-specific interventions to mitigate the smoking and drinking prevalence.

    Abstract: Smoking is a global health problem among health science students. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of smoking and to examine associated factors among health science students from five universities in Vietnam. Among 5946 participants (95.0% response rate), the smoking prevalence was 19.2% (95% CI:17.4–21.0%) among male students and 2.9% (95% CI:2.4–3.5%) among female students. In the multivariable regression models, significant factors for smoking were the perceived financial burden, the respondent’s year in university, a non-self-determined motivation profile, self-reported depression and/or anxiety, the level of vigorous physical activity, and alcohol drinking.
